Of Polynesian rootes, Hefa Leone Tuita seems to be a jack of all trades. He plays the keyboard, guitar, ukulele, and drums, and he also plays football, rugby and basketball. Although admittedly shy at times, Hefa Leone Tuita shows his emotions through dancing. He is trained at hip-hop, funk, ballroom, Latin, and jazz.
Hefa is part of a group called the Nick 6, featured in the Nickelodeon dance show
Dance on Sunset . Led by topnotch choreographer Tony Testa, each week, the Nick 6 performs a routine designed by Testa himself. These routines are specifically made for kids who have little or no dancing experience. The Nick 6 repeats the routine slowly throughout the episode so the kids watching can follow.
Hefa was a principal dancer in High School Musical 2 and has likewise appeared in the feature film Unaccompanied Minors, along with a couple of music videos for Taylor Vai. Not only that, he has danced onstage with R&B superstar Rihanna and dancer Ben Vereen.
